Small Grants Program applications due Aug. 23
The Board of County Commissioners’ Small Grants Program application process is only open for two more weeks! This important program assists local nonprofits that provide services to vulnerable populations living within the county. A total of $250,000 will be distributed.
Preference for organizations receiving grants will be given to groups that:
· Serve the county’s designated Community Prosperity Collaborative areas;
· Prioritize clear onetime expenses;
· Encourage partnerships to increase community impact;
· Fill an unanticipated expense gap due to COVID-19; and
· Serve communities of color that are impacted by COVID-19, as those communities are have been especially impacted.
In the past, groups receiving grants serve populations such as seniors, housing-insecure individuals, veterans in need, families of cancer-stricken children, at-risk youth, the developmentally disabled, hungry persons and many more.
Eligible applicants are current nonprofit organizations serving residents of the county. Eligible projects must address the program’s goal and result in a positive, measurable outcome for residents.
For maps of the Community Prosperity areas, a link to the online application, and all other grant information, visit the Small Grants Program webpage at www.clackamas.us/bcc/smallgrants.html.

Integrated Education:

With schools preparing to reopen soon, there are several changes we can all expect as we transition from virtual remote learning to in-classroom teaching. In addition, the state has instituted a mandate requiring masks to be worn for all students, teachers, volunteers, and contractors entering a school building. Special attention is also being placed on teaching curriculums reexamining our country's history to see if certain policies may have led to economic, social, and academic inequities. Educational programs are also being updated to reflect the dramatic transition businesses are undergoing by offering in-person meetings and zoom connectivity from home. Many job descriptions will be changed based upon this evolution of technology both for personal and professional needs and requirements. Come hear CCC President Tim Cook and OC School Superintendent Kyle Laier speak on their vision for the upcoming year and how they plan to implement these changes while preparing their students for the employment opportunities of tomorrow.
Where: Abernethy Center Ballroom 606 15th Street Oregon City, Oregon 97045
When: Tuesday, August 24th, 11:30 am to 1:00 pm
Luncheon cost is: $25 for OCBA Members, $30 for non-members,
and$35 for all attendees after Wednesday, August 18th, which includes payment at the door

What is this project?
ODOT has two toll projects underway in the Portland metro area – the I-205 Toll Project and the Regional Mobility Pricing Project – to address traffic on I-205 and I-5 in a way that is equitable and addresses climate change and safety. While separate projects, they inform each other. Toll prices will be higher at peak traffic times, a concept known as “congestion pricing.” With both projects:
- Drivers only pay for what they use.
- Tolls can help traffic move more smoothly.
- Tolls provide a more reliable trip.
- Toll prices will not be a surprise.
|
|
|
Why do we need tolls?
Traffic is getting worse. It is:
- Making life harder.
- Bad for our economy.
- Creating more emissions and contributing to climate change.
There is not enough money from gas taxes or other revenue sources to fix Oregon’s highways and fund projects to reduce traffic. It’s not easy for people with low incomes, disabilities, and other barriers to get to where they need to go. Tolls can help address these problems and provide a reliable funding source for transportation projects. The Oregon Department of Transportation needs your input to make tolls work for our community.

It’s here! The Oregon City Festival of the Arts |
|
On August 14 and 15 the Three Rivers Artist Guild once again holds the Oregon City Festival of the Arts outside at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. The festival is open 10 am – 5 pm each day and features over 60 artists’ booths, all-day musical performances, a community art project, Food Trucks, a virtual Silent Auction, Face Painting, Balloon animals and so much more. FREE admission and fun for the whole family.
This year we are excited to introduce a Community Art Project sponsored by Oregon City’s Soulflags Art/Lit Community Center and funded through the Metro Enhancement Grant. Each participant will be asked to paint a small tile. This will form a large mosaic mural that will later be installed in Oregon City. The theme is famous art – but featuring Oregon City. Think Van Gogh’s Starry Night with the OC elevator in the background, Monet’s waterlily pond with the Arch Bridge, or Warhol’s famous portraits –with John McGloughlin as the figure. FREE and fun for the whole family.
So come for the art, come for the music, come for the food, or come and help build a community art mural for our City– but most importantly, come for the fun!

Lawn Care Tips to Help Protect Our Water
While pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers can help control pesky weeds and insects, they can also cause other problems.
Clackamas Water Environment Services wants to remind you that all pesticides have some level of toxicity that can be harmful to honey bees, earthworms, aquatic bugs, fish and people.

Clackamas Volunteers in Medicine, The Founders Clinic is sponsoring its inaugural “Run for Healthcare” on Sunday, September 19, at Clackamas Community College. This is a fund-raiser to benefit the clinic, which provides medical and optometric care to individuals living in Clackamas County who have no insurance or are underinsured. Many of these individuals are working two or more jobs just to pay the rent and put food on the table. If they do have insurance, the co-pays and deductibles are so high, their access to health services is limited. All of our healthcare providers are volunteers who rely on your generous donations and grants to keep the clinic doors open.
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on our community with many lost jobs and insurance benefits resulting in an increased need for CVIM to continue its vital role in the healthcare of our community. A healthy workforce ensures a healthy vibrant prosperous community, a benefit to all.
We hope that this inaugural “Run for Healthcare” will become an annual event to raise funds for the clinic, but we need your help. Would you be a sponsor of this event? Sponsorship packages begin at --Individual $10 to $10,000; business, $100 to $10,000—the larger the donation, the greater the marketing opportunities for your business, but every dollar no matter how small helps the clinic. We thank you for your continued generous support of CVIM.
Please contact Jan Hochstatter, 503-655-9140, or Petronella Donovan, 503-810-9045 with any questions or for additional information.
Please send your donation to Clackamas Volunteers in Medicine, P.O. Box 2592, Oregon City, OR. 97045, or visit our website, www.clackamasvim.org. To register for the race go to:
